Colorado Supreme Court ruling: The court declared Donald Trump ineligible for the state's Republican primary ballot in the 2024 US presidential elections.

Trump's response: Despite the ruling, Donald Trump has announced his intention to appeal the decision promptly.

Grounds for ineligibility: The Colorado Supreme Court cited Trump's involvement in the January 6 Capitol Riot in 2021 as the basis for declaring him ineligible. They invoked the 14th Amendment, designed during the American Civil War, which addresses individuals engaged in insurrection.

Legal strategy: Trump's legal team argues that the 14th Amendment, being from a different era, does not explicitly address presidential eligibility, introducing ambiguity. They plan to escalate the case to the US Supreme Court, where conservative judges hold a 6-3 majority.

Impact on 2024 presidential race: Despite legal challenges, Trump remains a strong contender among fellow Republicans, according to nationwide polls. The outcome of the legal battles could significantly influence the narrative of the 2024 presidential race, challenging established ideas and candidates.
